Research Abstract

The objective of this research is the demonstration of quantum shutter. Only one quantum shutter can reflect a photon which is in the quantum superposition state over multiple slits. It shed new light on non-locality of quantum mechanics. We realized quantum shutter effect by combining quantum gates. Using the constructed system, we have obtained experimental results which prove the quantum shutter effect.
